Business - Energy

Energy is the one resource that all businesses have in common; it is needed to power systems, heat rooms, and provide light.
Yet, it has been estimated that between 10% and 30% of energy use can be saved by most businesses, much of it at little or no cost.

Benefits

There are immediate benefits to business from reduced energy use.
Savings
A 20% saving in energy use may have the same effect as a 5% increase in sales (The Carbon Trust), so lower energy costs can result in immediate increase in profitability.
You will also pay less tax, in the form of reduced Climate Change Levy.
Competitive
Increased competitiveness of your products or services can result from the reduction in
overheads.
Reputation and marketing
Promoting yourself as a resource efficient business has a strong marketing message.
